A Cabinet minister has become the subject of two investigations over whether
he breached government security and data protection laws after he was
spotted dumping parliamentary papers in a litter bin in a public park.

Oliver Letwin, the Prime Minister’s policy adviser, apologised for disposing
of the documents, which included private correspondence from constituents.
Mr Letwin, a minister in the Cabinet Office, is being investigated by his
department and by the data protection watchdog after being seen throwing
papers away in the park near Downing Street on five occasions.
